Never thought the beggars could be mafia controlled, just people down on their luck. Mind you I'm not very perceptive, was well into my 20's before I figured out that Basil Brush wasn't a red squirrel.
They are literally put there to beg and collect money. If they don't collect money, they suffer mistreatment. The beggars are in dire straits to start with. The criminals who control them are usually not far off. Been that way for decades.
The beggars are literally put there at specific spots to beg and collect money. If they don't collect money, they suffer mistreatment. The asian gangs (mafia) who control them are usually not far off - within eyesight almost always, but usually not obvious. They take all the money the beggars collect. The beggars get scraps back. Been that way for decades.
